On their flight back to ''Port Stanley'', a fire erupted and they had to re-route to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. There, they witnessed ''Infinity'' in action as it helped the Arbiter by destroying many of the Abiding Truth's vessels. Parangosky then ordered them to extract their informant 'Telcam from the ground. As Kilo-Five abducted 'Telcam from the battle, ''Port Stanley'' posed as a [[Kig-Yar]] pirate ship and destroyed a few of 'Vadam's ships in order to maintain the stalemate between the two factions. Kilo-Five dropped 'Telcam off on New Llanelli and were later retrieved by ''Port Stanley''. | On their flight back to ''Port Stanley'', a fire erupted and they had to re-route to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.

===Venezia and ''Pious Inquisitor''=== | |||
Shortly after the operation at Sanghelios, Mal was deployed to [[Venezia]]'s capital city of [[New Tyne]]. Under the cover identity of a UNSC deserter, he was to accompany Vaz in infiltrating the local militia in order to gain information on the stolen Covenant battlecruiser ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]''. He replaced [[Naomi-010]] as Vaz's partner due to the risk of Naomi's relation to the rebel leader [[Staffan Sentzke]] compromising the mission. | |||
